Introduction
The Alternative Instrument process provides:
a way for students to use an instrument of their choice to complete units in VCE Music
a context for use of a range of instruments to meet assessment requirements in VCE Music
This resource is designed to assist students and teachers with applications for approval to use an
alternative instrument for solo performance in VCE Music Performance and/or Music Investigation.
This information should be read with
VCE Music study design

VCE Music Performance or VCE Music Investigation Alternative Instruments Guidelines and
application forms.
VCE Music Performance or VCE Music Investigation performance examination specifications
and assessment criteria
These documents can be downloaded from the VCE Music study index page:
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/studies/music/musicindex.aspx
ONLY students who intend to perform as a soloist for the end-of-year performance examination
require approval to use an Alternative Instrument.
Applications for approval to use an Alternative Instrument must be made on the correct form. The
form is revised and published annually
A separate application must be made for each student who wishes to use the Alternative
Instrument
If a student wishes to use the Alternative Instrument for both Music Performance and Music
Investigation separate applications must be made, each on the correct form.
The closing date for Alternative Instrument applications is provided on the application form.
Applications may be sent in the year before the student enrols in Unit 3-4 of the study. Replies will be
sent as soon as possible after VCAA receives a complete application.

Accordion
From 2013, Accordion is regarded as an Alternative Instrument. This change reflects
difficulties in obtaining sheet music for works on the Accordion list and provides students with
greater flexibility to choose a program of appropriate standard. Care must be taken in
choosing a program to ensure that works in a range of styles and characters and requiring a
range of performance techniques are included.
Students may submit a program of works from the list below or may include other works.
Works marked with an asterisk (*) are intended to be performed on a Free Bass instrument.

The program for the end-of-year performance examination for Organ Electronic must
consist of at least four works including at least two works composed since 1910.
Each title listed constitutes one work. Where a work comprises several movements, more
than one movement may be performed unless otherwise specified. These movements
Instruments
The electronic organ used for the performance examination should provide suitable tonal
resources for the works selected. These may include the following sounds: orchestral (for
example, string, brass, woodwind), synthetic (for example, wah-wah, cosmic), traditional
electronic organ (for example, those sounds found in a tone-wheel organ), and traditional
organ sounds (for example, diapason, bourdon). The instrument also needs to be capable of
solo voicings as well as ensemble voicings. It is strongly recommended that an instrument of
two 61-note manuals and twenty-five pedals be utilised where possible. However, the range of
most of the works can be accommodated within the two 49-note manuals and twenty pedals.
Students are encouraged to listen to recordings of the works in order to familiarise
themselves with stylistic demands; for example, articulation, tempo, balance and
orchestration.
Electronic organ performers should demonstrate skill in the selection and balance of tonal
resources as appropriate to the style of the work. Performers may select their own tonal
resources rather than follow editorial suggestions. The use of registration data discs is
approved only for the retrieval of registration and rhythm data. Pre-recorded musical lines
must not be used.

Music Performance
For students who select to perform as a soloist for Units 3 and 4 and select Synthesiser as
their instrument, all solo works performed for Units 3 and 4 Outcome 1 and all works
works.
The program for the Music Performance end-of-year performance examination for
Synthesiser must include
at least four works

at least one accompanied work
Each title listed constitutes one work. Where a work comprises several movements, more
than one movement may be performed unless otherwise specified. These movements
All works on this list are examples of music composed since 1910.
Print music
Due to the specialised nature of music for the instrument at this level, music retailers do not
maintain shelf stock of many of the works. It is recommended that scores are ordered several
months before they are required.
Instrument
Page 32 of 40
The synthesiser is made up of two components. The controller component, for example, the
keyboard, wind controller, percussion controllers, guitar controller and the synthesis
component as stand-alone component (for example, sound module) or built in (for example,
most keyboard synthesisers).
The synthesiser comes in a variety of forms, brands and specifications. Synthesisers used for
VCE Music Units 3 & 4 must have the following minimum configurations:
controllers for the adjustment of pitch bend and modulation routings for pitch and
timbral quality
facility for continuous adjustment of these controllers
capability to respond to velocity sensitivity and after touch, but not necessarily
polyphonic after touch
programmable sound envelopes for customisation of articulation
sustain pedal if it has a keyboard controller.
Accompaniments
Accompaniments for these works can either be performed by one accompanist live or by
material recorded on a sequencer, on tape, CD or disk as appropriate to the style of the work.
Accompaniments need not be an exact transcription of the recorded version of a work. If a
sequencer or recording is used, the live performance work of the student must be clearly
distinguishable from the sequenced material.
Interpretation of notated works

In interpreting the notated works for performance, synthesiser performers will be expected to
embellish their parts as appropriate to the style of the overall works; for example, timbre and
volume changes, modulations, pitch bends and, if using keyboard controllers, the use of
sustain pedal. Appropriate tempi of works can be gauged by listening to commercially
available recordings in addition to score indications.
Some transcriptions of works for synthesiser are incomplete. The student performances of
these works are expected to be of the complete work as in commercially available recordings.
Equipment
Students must provide all equipment including leads, speakers and play-back devices.

The program Tabla must include at least
at least five works

at least one unaccompanied work
at least two works performed with accompaniment
at least one work in each of the following categories
at least one work from each of the following categories
- Tabla Solo Repertoire
- Accompanied tabla repertoire (for example, Tabla and Sitar duet0
- World Music
- Jazz Piece
1. Tabla Solo Repertoire

Solo tabla repertoire is composed of pre-composed notated music that would be played as per the
notations. A performance of solo tabla repertoire (refered to as tabla lehara) is traditionally a collection
of a variety of compositional forms that are played sequencially with a theka (rhythmic framework that
outlines the time cycle) between the compositions, for example,
A Tintal Theka
B - Kiada 1
C -Tintal Theka
D Kiada 2
E Tintal Theka
F - Kiada 3
G Tintal Theka
H - Tukra
I Tintal Theka
J - Mukra
K - Tintal Theka
L Bedum Farmashi Chakradah
2. Accompanied work
Example: Tabla and Sitar Duet
Traditionally this music is largely improvised, though the musicians are required to play within a very
tight framework. For example, in the first section the tabla player will play from a selection of thekas
(basic time cycle feels). The second section would be a notated tabla solo. The third is in a new time
signature and would be notated in a similar way to the first section, with a choice of a variety of
thekas. The final section would be another notated tabla solo.
Sample formal structure:
1. Sitar bandish with tabla theka in Jhaptal, 10/4 (notated as a variety of thekas)
2. Tabla solo (completely notated)
3. Sitar bandish and tabla theka in Dadra 6/4 (notated as a variety of thekas)
4. Tabla solo (completely notated)
3. World Music
Works in this category can be drawn from any source and arranged/adapted for tabla. A formal
structure for works in this category could be:
Page 37 of 40
Introduction, main melody, tabla solo (notated), bridge melody, guitar solo, main melody.
Sample work
Khanda
4. Jazz Music
Works in this category should be arranged in a jazz standard form such as AABA, Solos (guitar and
tabla) AABA and might be played using multiple tablas in different pitches played outlining the chords.
Sample work
Footprints, Wayne Shorter

Traditional string instruments (fretted, bowed, plucked)
